METRICA SOUNDIbiza's new pioneering recording for the 3D generation

Metrica Sound recording studios is the newest venture from Ibiza born and bred DJ and producer Javier Ferrer. The new studio see’s the Ibizan DJ finally realising his dream of owning his own studio in which he can push the bound- aries of music making resulting in a new and immersive sonic experience for the listener. The gorgeous new music complex based in the heart of Playa Den Bossa part of the Hotel Garbi complex, plays host to a completely rebuilt structure to house the main studio, live room and work/office space that also doubles up as a bar complete with caña on tap and a DJ booth fully kitted out with the newest Denon DJ Prime series players and mixer, perfect for those thirsty Ibiza moments. A place of work but also a place where likeminded indi- viduals can find themselves immersed in the creative and social side of the music industry.
Speaking to Javier he explains the vision, “We want to be able to offer a working space where anyone can come and feel part of the Ibiza spirit, we’ll be offering various activ- ities from the studios and the work hub, industry and ed- ucational showcases, classes, radio shows and streaming, which is just the beginning, the studio is set up to be more than just a recording studio whilst it is a place of work we understand this is Ibiza, we are intertwined with music.” The studio itself is equipped with all the finest equipment, from the custom-made monitors in the main control room, to the remarkable array of PMC monitors in the ‘live’ room that makes up the impressive listening environment for the 3D and Binaural audio backdrop, the result of the research work done with Javier and the research team from Barcelona’s Eurecat Center for Technology and Sfëar. Creating their own tools and systems to pioneer and implement a sound that will become the newest listening experience available to music lovers and consumers globally. Metrica Sound is pioneering this area of the industry and the studio stands as one of the leading examples in its’ field.

“We offer artists and producers a new way of thinking and working, previously an artist would create music from a stereo point of view and then potentially apply 3D technology to it. At Metrica, the artist creates in 3D, thinks in 3D the whole creative and production process is done in the 3D realm. Record labels and companies have been looking for the next audio format and 3D recording and Binaural audio now places the listener into an immersive experience beyond anything that has ever been done before.”
